Hangers-On
A Karmann Ghia laden with sorority sisters made its way along Church Street in the 1969 Homecoming Parade. Harrison Wick, IUP Special Collections librarian and university archivist, supplied the image and would welcome information about the women, the driver, and the car. His e-mail address is hwick@iup.edu. Wick is also interested in hearing from alumni who have IUP memorabilia, photographs, or scrapbooks they are interested in donating.
